WHAT'S THE NATTER
More Points for the Consideration Of tas
Miners' Federation.

You all remember that when I was at
Louisville promised you that in this col
umn we should hereafter together investi-
gate the causes of your poverty, and that
you in turn promised that each week you
would carefully read and think over what
had to say.
Now went to suggest this way of doing:
Pass the paper around among all the men
whether they are subscribers or not and
get them interested and talking upon the
matter, and then when you have any spare
time organize and debate the matters
spoken Of, among yourselves. After you
have got well enough interested to really
wish to know why you are poor then send
26 cents to Lee d Shepard,l Boston, for
one copy Of Laurence Gronlund's Scoop
orative Commonwealth" After you have
read that you will begin to understand
something of the Labor Question"
Coming back to our questions,-her is
another that you ought to think upon:
"For what purpose were you created?
Was il simply to Toll: Is life really in
tended as a means of w0rkinq man to
death: What is the object of living! Do
you live to labor alone. Or do you think
that God meant that you should use your
life here for the purposes of education,
amusement and advancement"
These are the questions that PHrLoso-
PLY, of which you know nothing, seeks to
answer. / have put them in plain words
for you.
John Swinton asked KARL MARX about
them once in these queer words that you
will have to think little about to under
stand. He said; "WnAr Is?" And MARX
answered: STRUGGLE"
Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of
Independence, said that happiness was the
real aim Of existence; and all modern So
ciety is formed upon that idea,-that peo.
pie live to be happy.
Are you HAPPY!
But there was an English poet called
SIDNEY DoDELL who also had his say upon
the matter. He said that man lives in
order to grow perfect in making, in kno,ci-
edge, in ordering, and in toring.
Now, know just what yonr case is.
You grind because you have to grind. If
you didn't you'd starve. You haven't any
idea that things ever could be better and
none either as toAwhy they are always get
ting worse. You cannot understand why
II is that you are poor always when you
try 50 hard to do your duty. And you
perhaps think it is because you have no
book learning" so, you try to give your
children an education"
Book learning will never cut the way
out out of the tangle for your children
any more than coal-mining will for you.
Thousands of clerks are poorer than you
and q million times more Ignorant of the
real causes of their poverty.
There is but one remedy for this thing;
that remedy is THOUGHT
You must get down to business and ex-
ercise your brain little bit. And there
is food enough TO exercise it upon in this
very paper. B. q. ii.

THE latest information in regard to
the health of Governor Bartlett is
very reassuring. He is improving
every day, and if nothing unforeseen
happens, will be at his post in a week
OF so. The Governors nervous and
physical system had been greatly run
do wn, first by the exigencies OF the
campaign; then by the long session
of the Board of Election Commission
ers in San Francisco, on which he sat
for six hours each day for several
weeks; next by the suspense in the
returns from all parts of the State and
the closeness of the vote; then came
the siege OF politicians and place-hunt-
ers, followed by the session OF the
Legislature, involving constant and
exhausting work on the part OF the
Executive. No wonder his health,
alrea dy poor, gave way under these
manifold duties and exactions. A
cast-iron constitution would hardly
60 through such an ordeal unscathed.
But We are happy to know that a
season of rest and careful treatment
at the Highland Springs is bringing
him out all right.

Commissioners has adopted a resolu-
ton calling upon local inspectors
throughout the state to report prompt
ly whenever they discover any viola
tions OF the Pure Wine Act in the use
of materials forbidden by law in the
manufacture of wines sold as pure.
The virtue of the new law must be
thoroughly tested. We believe it to
be good law, and calculated to work
needed reforms. 1t should be rigidly

THE city authorities should not

one now on trial is worse than none.
1t misleads and confuses. The fire

rea ched the ground. 1t was at least

everybody in the vicinity OF

b ave been rung at least ten minutes
sooner if the electric fre-alarm system
haddone its work efficiently. There is
too much at stake to permit this 60
as -you-please alarm system to be
Ion ger tolerated. If the city has made
bad bargain with the Richmond
company, and is compelled, under a
loosely-drawn contract, to pay for the
system whether it works well or
not, then we must pocket the loss
and secure system that can be re-
lied upon. This is a matter OF the
highest moment, and We call upon
the authorities to look to it, before
we have paid too dearly for our pro-

TIE Superior Court of Santa Cruz
has declared that the boycott is a
Grim inal conspiracy when it is aimed
at the destruction OF patronage. This
doc trine, carried out to its legitimate
reach, would prevent any combina-
tion for the purpose OF discouraging
the purchase Of vegetables raised by

them. There can be no such thing

Anne xasion OF Raw ali.

There is a strong probability that the
disturbed st ate of public feeling in Hon.
olulu may result in a revolution that
will overt throw the existing government
of the Islands. In that event, it be-
comes a matter of interesting specula-
tion as to the character Of government
the islanders will erect on the ruins OF
the Kalak aua regime. The commercial
interests of the United States are too
intimate ly connected with those of the
Hawaiia Islands to permit this country
to look with unconcern upon any politi-
cal cha nge that may take place there.
Especially are the people of the Pacific
Coast interested in the governmental
mutations that may occur. They are
not only extensively engaged in traffic
with them, but they have invested large
amounts of capital in the industries
peculiar to the Sandwich Islands. In a
broader sense, we view the Hawaiian
group as an outpost of the United
States, possessing military significance
relatively to our coast of peculiar
import ance. In the event of war
with any first.class power, the Islands
would figure as very important naval
station, and if seized by the enemy would
give him an incalculable advantage over
us. The majority of the foreigners in
the Islands are Americans, who also
represent the greater bulk of the
commercial wealth there. Hence
we cannot without concern see
a disturbed state of affairs
in that country, however it may end.
If the Islanders merely conine them
selves to playing at the game Of pulling
down one Kanaka Kinglet and setting up
an other, we may not take serious excep-
tions. But if the pastime should
ass ume different phase, and, lead, as
it may, to the grave proposition of in
viting some foreign power other than
the United States to establish over the
Islands protectorate, then the ques-
tion of instant annexation would be-
come one for very urgent consid-
erati on. Whilst we may not be
willing to interfere with the affairs
of the Islands as long as their internal
q uarrels are merely local to themselves,
yet as soon as they take on a broader
feature, and call for a strong foreign
gov ernment to take them under its
wing, then we can only consent that
that government shall be the United
States. 1t is, indeed, question with
US whether it is not time now for our
gov ernment to adopt settled policy
10 okipg toward the annexation of the
Islands as soon as the natives have shown
their incapacity to carry on the gov
ernment successfully. This incapacity
is in fact already demonstrated, and it
is only question of time when the
whole Kanaka fabric will fall to pieces
as governing element. The United
States cannot, under any circumstances,
consent that these Islands should come
under the political control of any Eu.
ropean power; and therefore our gov
ernment would show foresight and
states manship by so directing its policy
in regard to them that when a radical
ch ange is made, it will be in the shape
of annexing them to the United States.
